Request for Applications (RFA) for Great Science for Girls

The Educational Equity Center at the Academy of Educational Development
(EEC/AED) is looking for partners to join Great Science for Girls (GSG),
a nationwide initiative funded by the National Science Foundation.
Applications are encouraged from intermediaries (organizations that
provide training and technical assistance to afterschool programs in
their region), direct service providers operating multiple afterschool
programs, school districts, and other organizations. GSG provides
partners with access to ongoing training and technical assistance,
evidence-based curricula, research and resources, and support materials.

GSG's goal is to broaden and sustain girls' interest and persistence in
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Working with
its partners, GSG builds the capacity of afterschool programs to provide
a learning environment for girls and boys that includes opportunities
for leadership and engagement with fun, hands-on, inquiry-based science
experiences. In the first three years of this five-year initiative, GSG
has reached more than 100 afterschool centers in 10 partner sites across
the country.

For more information and to view the RFA solicitation, please visit the
